    A horse doesn’t have to be worried about being happy if it ceases to think. Though it’ll also cease to be.

    You see, this relies on the quote “I think, therefore I am,” but if I led with that, I’d be putting Descartes before the horse.

    How to remove unhappiness: commit self-deletion.

      Seems the human OS has psychological safeguards in place for this. 🥴

        Are you ok? If not I recommend psychiatric help as opposed to this

    Stop having thoughts

    The way I see it, you have two options: liquor, or Warhammer 40K lore.

      What is this, Warhammer 40k, you speak of? Liquor is not an option.

    You know when in movies and shows they add some sort of short scene of what could’ve happened if such or such thing happened. I have hyperphantasia and it’s like that for me but instead of being useful am in constant panic because my brain project in my eyes the worst case scenario of any slightly dangerous situation like it’s really happening. It sucks.

      I do that, but I assumed it was more anxiety. It used to take roughly an hour to fall asleep, but that’s cut down due to a memory ritual I have that keeps me to preoccupied. It’s a little silly, but I rebuild the entirety of the city of Balmora from Elder Scrolls 3, in my imagination/mind’s eye. Building it item by item and have to hold each item in view as I add more.

        That’s hyperphantasia. My brain too take on adventures before sleep but for me it can happen like without any control over it like some sort of flashback.

    I’ve actually been achieving this exact same thing when I try to sleep at night by smoking CBD before bed. Literally one hit and my mind is completely empty then I just fall asleep within minutes. Such a fucking life saver.

      Never tried CBD, any suggestions where to start? Good night’s sleep feels like looking for the lost island of Atlantis these days.

        There are two kinds that I know of. There is upper and downer. Upper is indica and downer is sativa. You need to try both and see what works best for you, as each one works different on different people. Downer made me stress a lot. I couldn’t continue with it. Upper relaxes me a lot and I don’t stress. Try both and see which is better for you.

      CBD is great! I used CBD flower and a Dynavap to quit smoking cigarettes and I’ve been smoke free for years. Less stressed out too.

      Meditating is another good way to quiet your mind, but that takes more time and practice. Still worth it though IMO. Same for exercise, even if you’re just going on walks or something.

      • donut4ever@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I exercise like there is no tomorrow. I lift like a maniac and walk between 2 - 5 miles in the park 4 days a week. Still have so much shit to think about at night. CBD is THE life saver. I have literally been struggling with sleep my whole life :(

    Mindfulness meditation might actually help

    • TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      At this point I’ll give it a try, any suggestions to start? I’ve never meditated in my life.

        Guided mindfulness meditation I guess? I don’t have a specific link.

    I can stop having thoughts when I stop the brain from doing that. Cocks gun

      I am actually seeking help, though it’s depressing to see/hear of the number of people out there that don’t have access to assistance. 🫤

    Reminds me of the book “Hyperbole and a Half”

      Sounds interesting, and chance of getting you to summarize or ELI5?

        The author has snippets of her book here. But, they’re a bunch of funny stories throughout her life and how she’s been dealing with depression. I’ve read it multiple times and I love the book.

    Well, this is a simple solution. If you want to be happy and still alive, you’ll need to only stop with certain thoughts 💭

      Which is a conundrum when the subconscious is naturally very vocal. It was once a boon in school or general memory retention, but now it’s like a ghost.

    Striving for happiness will only lead you to ruin.

    Strive for effectiveness, and enjoy the happiness you find on the way there.

      I learned the first one early on, happiness is a bit of an adult fairytale, like Santa Claus. You’ll always end up reaching for something new, and you realize you rarely gain satisfaction for the stress. I also found this meme really summarized the problem: Image
